Metody hodnocení
written tests (open questions), final analytical paper, seminar presentation(s) FINAL PAPER Final paper should be a theoretical-empirical analysis of a phenomenon related to the course contents. Ideally, it would be analytical (not purely descriptive) in nature and would focus on a previously unexplored research topic. The paper requires familiarity with methods of statistical analysis of sociological/survey data (including the ability to work with some relevant software). If you have not taken such course(s) in your pre-MA education, it is strongly recommended that you take them before signing up for Sociology of Family.
